Oho! I will remind you of today’s post when you turn 53, young lady! 😉 Thanks for the good wishes. They are appreciated and accepted with warmth. _sniff_😃

Happy Birthday!!! Yay, someone is older than I am on SDMB! 😃 (ftr, revealed only here, I turned 50 a few months ago … :)). Happy birthday to the younger ones too.

But seriously, Quasimodem, congrats and happy birthday! 🙂

Happy Birthday **Quasi**.

It’s my sister’s birthday as well. She’s not keen on the New Years Eve birthday. What’s your take on it?

**Fredge** , I wouldn’t mind it if I had someone to spend it with, but as I am alone at the moment (read unattached), it sucks like a German Staubsauger.

If your sister’s problem is combined presents (Christmas and Birthday), that too is lamentable. It has only happened to me a couple of times, though.

All in all, though (given the limitations I listed above), it’s not so bad having a 12.31 birthday.

I think it’s cool. Only thing cooler would be 2/29.

**Baker** – happy (belated) birthday, secret twin. I was born at 6:10 am in Dearborn, Michigan – so am I the older sister or the younger sister?

**twickster** , you are older. I was born at 10:16PM. Dad was really sweating it out about the tax deduction angle I guess. Mom didn’t leave for the hospital until they sat down for supper, so for a first baby I was pretty quick.
